1. Receive Push Notifications: iGotify lets users receive notifications directly from a Gotify server on their iPhone or iPad. These notifications can be used for various applications and integrations like Proxmox and Uptime Kuma. 2. Biometric Security Feature: The app adds an extra layer of security by allowing access to be locked with biometric features like Face ID or Touch ID. This protects sensitive notifications from unauthorized access. 3. Custom Sounds: iGotify allows configuring custom sounds for different notification priority levels. This offers a clear distinction between important and less urgent notifications. 4. Markdown Support: Notifications formatted in Markdown are fully supported. This allows sending and displaying structured and visually appealing notifications. 5. Message Decryption: iGotify decrypts received messages using a public key generated on the iOS device. This ensures the security and confidentiality of the notifications. 6. Multi-User Support: The app supports multiple users, which is particularly useful in environments where several individuals need to receive notifications from one or more Gotify servers. 7. Docker Integration: The app seamlessly works with Docker instances and facilitates the setup of local and remote Gotify servers powered by Docker containers. Users can manage multiple servers and instances through the app. 8. Multi-Language Support: iGotify supports multiple languages, including English, German, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch, making it accessible to an international user base.

Read full description

Truly Simple Text Converter is a fast, private utility for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Paste messy text, build a sequence of transformations, and copy the clean result. Designed for writers, developers, students, and anyone who wrangles text, this app does exactly what you need it to do without accounts, network calls, or bloat. How It Works: Instead of pressing one-off buttons, you build a visible pipeline. Add as many steps as you need—trim whitespace, strip HTML, convert to camelCase—and your text will change accordingly. Features: • Recipes: Save your favorite chain of transformations as a Recipe. Run complex formatting workflows with a single tap. Export, share, and back up Recipes as small .tstrecipe files. • Live Stats: See character, word, line, and sentence counts, plus estimated reading time, as you type. • Everywhere You Work: Send text directly to the app using the iOS Share Sheet, macOS Services menu, or our native Apple Shortcuts action. • Fully Native: Built natively for Apple platforms with full support for Dark Mode, VoiceOver, and Dynamic Type. • Private & Offline: Truly Simple Text Converter collects zero data. Everything runs securely on your device. 37 Free Transformations: Every single text tool is completely free to use forever. • Case: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case, camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case. • Cleanup: Trim whitespace, collapse extra spaces, remove line breaks, delete empty or duplicate lines, fix smart/straight quotes, and remove accents. • Lines: Sort lines alphabetically, reverse order, number lines, and add prefixes or suffixes. • Encode / Format: URL encode/decode, Base64 encode/decode, strip HTML, and convert Markdown to plain text. • Style Text: Generate Bold, Italic, Monospace, Cursive, Gothic, Circled, Squared, Fullwidth, and Upside-down text, or strip existing styles back to plain text. • Find & Replace: Quickly swap words with optional case sensitivity.
